In the play Macbeth Lady Macbeth says "and fill me from
the crown to the toe top-full of direst cruelty" meaning that she wants
her entire body engulfed with this evil riding her of her sort of natural feminine
and caring qualities. I find this line very striking and a little disturbing
due to the fact that she seems to invite evil into her body. This is not just
disturbing because she wants evil to literally fill her from head to toe, but
she is a women and in that time it was unheard of for a woman to take on qualities
of roles of a man not to mention a full on invitation for evil to evade her
body. This line to be shows that Lady Macbeth is not your traditional women not
even your traditional human, from this line it almost seems as though she is
pure evil. I think this line also shows the power of greed and money because
from the story I can assume Lady Macbeth was an ordinary woman and when she
learns of Macbeth's possible new found power she shows how evil a person can
become when encountered with a new opportunity for power. That is assuming that
she was an ordinary woman before, but due to her reaction of the knowledge that
Macbeth has shared with her I do not believe that she was an ordinary woman in
fact I believe that Lady Macbeth is quite evil and is just out for power, any
way she can get it. Sure I person would
become a little more sinful of greedy when approached with an opportunity for powered
but all out invitation for evil to engulf your body is a little much. I believe
Lady Macbeth might just be a good old Gold Digger who jumps on any opportunity
for power and wealth which could be the reason she is with Macbeth in the first
place. I am very curious to see how the rest of this story plays out with Lady Macbeth.
